Northen

Grimnir
So different from the previous ones, which had ambient, acoustic, and conventional vocal elements more strongly featured, or, indeed, present. But it's brilliant, and emphasises elements that were always present and fleshes them out with more instrumentation rather than marking a change in style. Amazing material throughout and highly recommended. If you like metal about Vikings--and what sort of a FOOL doesn't like metal about Vikings--buy it. Also... BATHORY. Sorry, couldn't resist!
Favorite track: Runarmal.

Excellent track! Really moves me when I am working out. The sound flows really well and I feel like I am at the helm of a Dragon Ship to uncharted lands while listening! Raw power and epic storyline that flows from somewhere very deep. Awesome!
Favorite track: Krossanes.

The Catalyst
Hailing from Canada, SIG:AR:TYR's new album "Northen" stands as a triumph of seaworthy songs showcasing some of the best in Viking metal with combinations of harsh blackened metal and folk embellishments.
Favorite track: Skraeling.

Keeps digging its hooks in with every listen. There is nothing out of place, wasted or wasteful on the album. Every piece fits into the puzzle, and conveys the intended feelings through a rewarding and full listening experience.
Favorite track: Vinland.
